I've been a real estate writer, syndicated columnist, television correspondent and radio talk show host since 1988. My syndicated column runs in more than 120 newspapers. Does it run in your local paper?

After spending nearly a decade creating video stories for WGN-TV, I decided to start telling different sorts of stories. I hope to share with you some of the expert information I've picked up in my years of being a financial reporter, and introduce you to some of the interesting people I've met along the way.

I have a channel on YouTube where I have videos on real estate, personal finance and much more. Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/user/ExpertRealEstateTips or look through my playlist below to get a taste of Expert Real Estate Tips.

We look at all aspects of the life cycle of a house including buying, selling, fixing up and financing your home. We also hope to help shed some light on issues surrounding credit, debt, foreclosures, and real estate investments. I am an award-winning syndicated real estate and personal finance columnist, WSB Radio talk show host, and best-selling book author
